If soil hydraulic conductivity or water holding capacity could be measured with a small volume of samples, it would benefit international fields where researchers can only carry a limited amount of soils out of particular regions. We performed a pinhole multistep centrifuge outflow method on three types of soil, which included granite decomposed soil (Masa soil), volcanic ash soil (Andisol soil), and alluvial clayey soil (paddy soil). The experiment was conducted using 2 mL and 15 mL centrifuge tubes in which pinholes were created on the top and bottom for air intrusion and outflow, respectively. Water content was measured at 5, 15, and 30 min after applying the centrifuge to examine the equilibrium time. The results showed that pinhole drainage worked well for outflow, and 15 or 30 min was sufficient to obtain data for each step. Compared with equilibrium data, the retention curve was successfully optimized. Although the curve shape was similar, unsaturated hydraulic conductivities deviated largely, which implied that Ks caused convergence issues. When Ks was set as a measured constant, the unsaturated hydraulic properties converged well and gave excellent results. This method can provide soil hydraulic properties of regions where soil sampling is limited and lacks soil data.

Summer Growth

In a year of spring-summer drought on a sandy volcanic ash soil, ryegrass/caucasian clover (RG/ CC) and RG/white clover (RG/WC) pastures had similar rapid increases in pasture growth rates during September. Growth rates peaked around 25 October (65-70 kg DM/ha/day) for RG/CC and around 14 October (50-60 kg DM/ha/day) for RG/ WC. As drought intensified the declines in pasture growth rates were similar, but delayed by up to 3 weeks for RG/CC. Both pastures reached minimum summer growth rates of
